Notes

Stefan Schmidt – born 1974 in Baden-Baden/Germany - gathered his first musical experiences as a member of various experimental punk bands. He then studied classical guitar at the Hochschule für Musik Trossingen and the Conservatorio Juan José Castro in Buenos Aires. Currently he is working as a teacher for classical guitar. Since 2000 he has released several albums with his solo project 'farang' and created music for films, exhibitions and dance performances. His sound may be described as a melting pot, integrating elements of industrial and noise as well as of Asian, Arabic and contemporary classical music.
